37. "THE BORDERLAND OF EMBRYOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY" 



2nd edit., 1962 

 by R. A. Willis Butterworths 



675 pp.. 244 figs. London 



Price: 90 s. 



This compilatory work of which the second edition appears four years after 

 the first, has been written in the conviction that embryologists and pathologists 

 have much to gain by a better knowledge of each other's fields. It is therefore 

 very useful that in this book much attention has been paid to the terminology 

 and to the explanation of the principal terms and concepts, used in describing 

 the nature and results of developmental disturbances. 



After introductory chapters concerning experimental embryology and a 

 description of normal human development the author synthesizes the numerous 

 data, known from human pathology in a very systematic way. The anomalies 

 are clearly described and critical and ample discussions are given of their 

 embryological background. 



A separate chapter is devoted to inborn metabolic disorders. Of special in- 

 terest for embryologists are the chapters dealing with regeneration and repair, 

 metaplasia, and transplantation and culture of tissues. An extensive biblio- 

 graphy follows each chapter, and the work is concluded by a subject index 

 In an appendix suggestions for further research are given. The book is 

 illustrated by line drawings from various other sources and by a large number 

 of good photomicrographs, not published previously. The printing is excellent. 



38. "SEX AND INTERNAL SECRETIONS" 



3rd edit., 1961 

 Vol. I and II 



Editor: W. C. Young The Williams 6 Wilkins Cy. 



Vol. I: 728 pp., 214 figs., 34 tbs. Baltimore, Md. 



Vol. II: 908 pp., 186 figs., 53 tbs. Price: $ 15.00 



The third edition of the classical work on "Sex and internal secretions", 

 edited by W. C. Young, forms practically a completely newly written work. 



It gives a critical survey and discussion of the many problems in this wide 

 field, and will serve as a guide for any worker in the field of basic as well as 

 clinical and agricultural sciences. 



In this third edition relatively more space has been given to the role of the 

 gonadal hormones, the control of reproductive behaviour and relatively less 

 to the biochemical problems of hormone synthesis, utilization and metabolism, 

 since excellent reviews have recently been published on the latter topics. 



The whole work has been published in two volumes. The first volume com- 

 prises the sections a) "Biologic basis of sex" with contributions by J. W. 

 Gowen and R. K. Bums; b) "The hypophysis and the gonadotrophic hormones 

 in relation to reproduction" with contributions by H. D. Purves and R. O. 

 Greep; c) "Physiology of the gonads and accessory glands" with contributions 

 by A. Albert, Miss D. Price and H. Guy Williams-Ashman, W. C. Young, 

 J. W. Everett, F. L. Hisaw and F. L. Hisaw Jr., A. T. Cowie and S. J. Folley, 

 CI. A. Villee and J. H. Leathem.
